Kakkamoola Kayalkara

Neyyattinkara, Kerala, India
Vellayani Lake Banks: Kakkamoola Kayalkara is a peaceful lakeside destination situated on the banks of the Vellayani Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Thiruvananthapuram. The area is known for its rural charm and the vast expanse of lotus-filled waters. It offers a stark contrast to the salty bea ches of the region. The road leading to the lake is lined with coconut trees and traditional houses. It is a popular spot for morning walks and evening hangouts among locals. The lake is famous for the Ayyappan temple situated nearby and the annual boat races. The water is calm, making it a perfect spot for reflection. The sunset over the freshwater lake is soft and ethereal. It is also an important agricultural zone where traditional farming is still practiced. Many small cafes have come up recently catering to those who want to enjoy the view with a snack.
